Ladakh - Holiday Tour Packages

Ladakh is a region in the state of Jammu and Kashmir that extends from China's Kunlun mountain range to the Himalayan mountain range. With its elevated location (much of the area is over 9,800 feet), it's considered to be the highest plateau in Kashmir. Its high altitude translates to extreme temperatures; Ladakh can reach a maximum of 35 degrees Celsius during summer, while it can plunge down to -35 degrees Celsius in winter. The region might be one of the sparsely populated areas in the state, but this doesn't mean that it's not worth a visit. In fact, it's the perfect place for those who'd like to relax and commune with nature during their Ladakh holiday. It's also ideal for those who are planning to travel to India but want to avoid the crowds and go to less-explored areas.
